This smooth and creamy parfait brings together peanut better, whipped cream and GanoCafe Schokolade to create one perfect treat.

INGREDIENTS:

12	Oreos
2	Tbsp butter, melted
1	sachet GanoCafe Schokolade
1	Tbsp hot water
3/4	cup creamy peanut butter
8	oz cream cheese, softened
1	cup heavy whipping cream

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Make your Oreo cookie crumbles! Place whole Oreos in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form, stir with melted butter and set aside.
2.	Next make the whipped cream. Add heavy whipping cream to a large bowl and use a hand mixer or whisk to beat until stiff peaks form. Add in powdered sugar and beat together until combined. Set aside.
3.	Empty GanoCafe Schokolade into a medium bowl and stir in hot water to form a thick paste.
4.	Stir in peanut better. Cut cream cheese into small pieces and add to the Schokolade and peanut butter mixture. Use a hand mixer to lend until smooth and creamy.
5.	Gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until combined.
6.	Take half of the Oreo cookie crumbles and divide into 4 serving glasses. Divide the peanut butter mousse into glasses and top with remaining cookie crumbles. Garnish with mini peanut butter cups, if desired.
